216 A Classification of Lejndopterons Larvse. 



11 to 13 are longer than the others, which are al)out equal. The 

 color is green with a bright vermillion dorsal line, and a white band 

 below the subdorsal ridge, both bordered by a dark shade. The 

 lateral region is of a paler green. 



Euclea dicolon Sepp. 



This larva is interesting for it differs from the typical structure 

 of Euclea (to judge by Sepp's figure) in having the subdorsal horns 

 on joints 6 and 10 shorter than those on *7 to 9, so that they are not 

 shown in the figure. Perhaps, even, they are absent; but anyway 

 Ave have an approach to the structure of the next genus, Sibine. 

 The subdorsals on 3 to 5 and 11 to 13 are as long as the stigmatals. 

 The body is gaily ornamented with streaks and spots of bright red 

 on a green ground, the location of which I cannot positivel}' deter- 

 mine from the fiarure.

Sibine vidua Sepp. 



Sepp figures a larva which seems to be somewhat more general- 

 ized than our North American species. The subdorsal horns are 

 absent on joints 6 to 10, but there is another pair of long ones 

 behind those on 11; the lateral horns are long. Body green with 

 a large square dark green patch on the back, broadly bordered with 

 yellow ; the horns are all dull purplish. 



Sibine stimulea Clemens. 



Head beneath joint 2, but 2 not beneath 3; joints 3 and 4 some- 

 what folded. Dorsum rises nearly perpendicularly in front, rounds 

 over at joint 5, slopes gentl}^ and slightly to joint 11, and is then 

 nearly perpendicular to the anus. No subdorsal ridge, the body 

 evenly rounded, l)ut the sides almost perpendicular. On joints 3, 

 4, 5, and 11a pair of subdorsal fleshy processes, furnished with 

 round, saiooth tubercles, each of which bears a long, stiff spine, 

 salmon colored, black at the end, "stinging." The processes on 3 

 and 4 are short, those on 5 and 11 very long (5 mm.). A similar 

 row on joints 3-13, just above the spiracles, and absent on 5, all 

 short, with an extra pair at the anus.' On 12 above the process, 

 and on 13 posterior to it is an elevated brown structure like a large 

 wart, or like many thick spines ver}^ close together, each tipped 

 with a fine black point. Body smooth, with two dorsal and two 



1 In tlie absence of specimens of the larva, I cannot tell to what this note, 

 made four years ago, refers.
